    Evaluate the Possible Consequences of a Rising Rate of Inflation for the Performance of the Uk Economy.

    Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, purchasing power is falling. Inflation is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Retail Price Index (RPI). The difference between CPI and RPI is that CPI excludes housing costs whereas RPI doesn’t, and also RPI excludes people in the top 4 per cent of earners. Central banks attempt to stop severe inflation along with sever deflation in an attempt to keep the excessive growth of prices to a minimum. A rising rate of inflation can potentially have beneficial and negative effects on an economy.…

    The most pressing issue in America

    Many of us have heard our grandparents talk about the “good old days” when you could buy ice cream for a nickel or a movie ticket for a quarter, as opposed to now where a simple small ice cream cup is usually equivalent to about three dollars. Inflation is directly responsible for these rises in price. Today consumer price inflation is averaging at…….Theories for the cause of our countries inflation range between three theories that the demand for goods and services exceeds exsisting supplies, so prices skyrocket. Also, it is also believed through the cost-push theory that when producers raise prices in order to meet increased costs inflation also occurs. In addition, inflation occurs when there is too much money in the economy at once. High inflation has numerous negative effects on the economy. For example, it can virtually erode purchasing power. In an inflationary economy, a dollar cannot buy the same amount of goods as it did in the past, as I stated previously in my ice cream example. Inflation also can deteriorate…

    Inflation & Its Causes and Effects

    A great deal of economic literature concerns the question of what causes inflation and what effects it has. A small amount of inflation is often viewed as having a positive effect on the economy. One reason for this is that it is difficult to renegotiate some prices, and particularly wages, downwards, so that with generally increasing prices it is easier for relative prices to adjust. Inflation may also have negative effects on the economy:…
